Explanation:
I don't have Cyrillic fonts, but just transliterate the above into Cyrillic and you'll have what you're looking for

- The long 'ij' would be as in e.g. the Russian word for glue : 'klej' (and not 'aj')
- The double 'a' only gets one 'a' in Russian (the same as with my last name in Russian: 'Deloof-Sys' becomes 'Delof-Sis'
- The 'w' becomes 'v' (Russian 'b')
- last 'e' would be as the first letter in the Russian word for examination: 'ekzamen'

Something like 'zbejnapde', but then in Cyrillic
